But Liu Yunxi stopped him.

"What's the rush to hang up? Is there something shady going on between you two?"

Hearing Liu Yunxi's words, a thought suddenly popped into Liu Ergou's head. I never expected Liu Yunxi to be such a jealous person. But on second thought, it's pretty normal.

While Liu Ergou was pondering this, Liu Yunxi urged him again.

"What are you doing, playing dumb with me? Answer the phone. Don't make me say it a third time!" she warned. "By the time I have to repeat it, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Since things had already come to this, Liu Ergou couldn't stall any longer and reluctantly answered the call.

He had barely accepted the call when Liu Yunxi snatched the phone from his hand and spoke irritably into it. "Zhang Man, I didn't realize you were so shameless!"

"It's only been a short while and you've already gotten Er Gou's number! Don't you know Liu Ergou is my boyfriend?! What, are you trying to steal him from me?"

On the other end of the line, Zhang Man was so taken aback by Liu Yunxi's outburst that her mouth hung open, utterly speechless for a long moment.

Seeing Liu Yunxi like this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Oh boy. I never imagined Liu Yunxi could be this fierce. How have I never noticed it before?

At that moment, the stunned Zhang Man finally snapped back to her senses. The moment she did, she fired right back.

"Mind your own damn business! I'll get whoever's number I want. What are you going to do about it?"

"Believe it or not, next time I'll go for your dad's number!"

"Besides, so what if I steal your boyfriend? You two aren't even married. Even if you were, I'd still steal him! If you've got the guts, come and fight me!"

Sitting to the side, Liu Ergou heard every single word with perfect clarity. His hands began to tremble in fear. My god, am I about to be thrown into the legendary battlefield of love? This is terrifying!

What's more, his phone wasn't even on speaker, yet he could hear every single word clearly from where he sat. One could only imagine Zhang Man was yelling at the top of her lungs.

Refusing to be outdone, Liu Yunxi retorted, "I've lived my whole life and never heard anyone make such a request! Are you asking for a beating?"

"Fine, I'll grant your wish. Name the place, and I'll buy a ticket right now. Don't you dare hide!"

"I won't hide! Hurry up and get over here! If you don't, you'll have to take my last name from now on!"

Zhang Man and Liu Yunxi traded blows, their words making the situation more and more complicated.

Liu Ergou knew that if he let these two continue, they might actually arrange a real fight, which could easily end in a full-blown brawl. Moreover, Zhang Man had no filter. With just a few words, she could easily blurt out the truth about his relationship with her.

If that happened, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the sky was falling.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou roared.

"Shut the hell up, both of you!"

"What the hell are you arguing about?!"

After Liu Ergou's outburst, Liu Yunxi, who had been shouting, suddenly fell silent. On the other end of the line, Zhang Man also shut her mouth.

Seeing that they had both quieted down, Liu Ergou couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He then took the phone from Liu Yunxi's hand. "Why did you call? Make it quick."

As soon as Zhang Man heard Liu Ergou's voice, she replied, "It's nothing else, it's about my grandfather again!"

"After you wrote the second prescription and left, he's been taking the medicine for a few days, but something doesn't seem right. I was hoping you could come over and take a look!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou didn't answer right away, taking a moment to calculate the timing.

Finally, he said, "Alright, I understand. It sounds like he's reached the third stage. I'll see… I'll head over tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, Liu Yunxi shot him an angry glare. Although she was furious, her eyes were also filled with a look of grievance.

In contrast to Liu Yunxi's anger and hurt, Zhang Man was ecstatic.

"You're coming tomorrow?"

"That's so soon! Great, I'll come pick you up first thing in the morning!"

After saying this, Zhang Man seemed like she wanted to say more. But Liu Ergou, fearing she would cause more trouble, decisively hung up.

The moment he ended the call, Liu Yunxi sat up on the bed without a word, put on her shoes, and made to leave his house.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou rushed forward and hugged her.

"Yun Xi, where are you going?"

Without looking back, Liu Yunxi replied, "Where else? I'm going home, of course!"

"Once I'm home, a certain someone will have plenty of time to get all dressed up to go see Zhang Man!"

With that, she broke free from Liu Ergou's embrace and walked toward the door.

Liu Ergou naturally understood that she was angry. He quickly chased after her and hugged her again.

"Hey, Yun Xi, don't be so quick to get mad. Listen to me, it's not what you think!"

"You heard on the phone, I'm going to treat her grandfather!"

"It's that simple. I'm just going to treat her grandfather. Don't overthink it!"

However, even after his explanation, Liu Yunxi still insisted on going home, adopting an air of being utterly inconsolable.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou gritted his teeth. He knew he had only one option left. He wasn't sure if it would work, but it was all he had.

Without any more hesitation, Liu Ergou leaned down and kissed her.

After a passionate kiss, Liu Yunxi completely melted in his arms, the angry look on her face vanishing without a trace.

Seeing her state, Liu Ergou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like my plan worked.

He then continued, "Yun Xi, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong this time."

"I shouldn't have saved Zhang Man's phone number. Don't worry, as soon as her grandfather is better, I'll delete her number immediately and never contact her again, okay?"

Hearing Liu Ergou's solemn promise, Liu Yunxi let out a soft snort.

"Hmph."

"That's not what I'm angry about!"

"I'm angry because you got Zhang Man's number and hid it from me!"

"Who wouldn't be angry in my shoes?!"
